Why…

Now there’s a baseball game I’d love to watch.
30 runs scored, and not for the home team. Texas 30, Baltimore… a grand total of… drumroll please… 3. Oh. My. Lord. Not since, and I feel shamed to admit it, Toronto lost 22 to 2 15 years ago did we see something like that. And not since the 1800’s … Read the rest

My cable versus satelite predicament or: the only truely evil thing about living in ottawa.
When I shoved my entire life into boxes and got the hell outa Pembroke way back in December, I acknowledged then that my hockey watching days, unles I wanted to convert to being a Senators fan, were either over or extremely, extremely numbered. Which, naturally, pissed me right the hell … Read the rest

Things I didn’t know: She’s a year older than me?
I practically grew up watching ‘Full House’. Well, okay, so I can’t think of anyone my age who didn’t. But even so, I had no idea Jodie Sweetin was pretty much my age. And… already, she’s been married twice, adicted to meth, and… um, God only knows what else. That’s … Read the rest

Happy June! ‘N such.

You know you’re from Ottawa when… (with 2024 updates)
It’s only funny because 90% of it is true. Except I used to be on the wrong end of number 2. And now, updated for 2024, because apparently people still read this thing. You know you’re from Ottawa when… You think that 613 is the only area code that exists … Read the rest

Just how awesome is my boss?
I’ve been off the phone for the last like… 5-10 minutes, conveniently 20 minutes before my shift ends, to update my timecard for lack of a better thing to call it. I’ve no intention of going back on the phone, and even if I did… I leave in 5 minutes. … Read the rest
